Who are the Prophets?
The Prophets are the strange aliens who live in, and who created, the wormhole. They exist out of normal time, so they have no proper idea of what “linear existence” is (see the premiere, “Emissary”). The Prophets have another role, however – they have become rather fond of the Bajorans and they have been an integral part of the Bajoran civilisation for millennia. The Bajorans correspondingly worship the Prophets, and often refer to the wormhole as the Celestial Temple.
